around 5pm on january 6th, after the police had cleared the rioters from inside the capitol building & shortly before the emergency curfew went into effect, i took this video of two men smiling & taking selfies on the gallows that had been erected outside https://twitter.com/socialistdogmom/status/1346938201810857984?s=20
chris was so proud of appearing in this video that he identified himself to me as its star & posted the video (and his response) on his facebook for all of his friends to enjoy
he also very helpfully provided a much clearer picture of himself & his friend (benjamin williams aka 'the kilted blacksmith') in the comments to... pretty much everyone who commented on the video
naturally i'm quite curious about the kind of guy who shows up at an insurrection in a suit & tie and spams my replies with selfies where he's smiling holding a noose. that's the kind of guy you want to get to know from a safe distance.
first let's link these online identities together, so we're all on the same page. we know chris wicker on twitter is the chris wicker with this facebook profile because he told us so. he used that account to post links to a CM Wicker facebook page & a chriswicker parler account
and we know that he lives in chattanooga, TN because, again, he told us! (and he posted pictures of his house that i matched to property records & screenshots of emails where his email address is not redacted, but i won't post those)
and we know he's a landlord because... he told us.
i won't post the addresses, but if you live in chattanooga & are worried you may accidentally rent from chris wicker, you can check to see which properties he owns on the county GIS

the people who stormed the capitol have been talking about traveling to DC to change the election results by force since election day.
chris wicker not only posted quite a bit about doing a civil war for trump, but he parrots explicit white nationalist talking points about the "great replacement," a theory popular among mass shooters, & expresses enthusiasm for joining a freikorps

on january 12, he laughed at his mother's concern that he'd be charged for his participation in the capitol coup.
five days later, he grimly posts that he expects to die for the cause and says prison will only make him stronger.

chris wicker also claims to know more than the FBI about what armed extremists might be up to this week and describes himself as "well networked" among the kind of people the FBI is concerned about.
after the nashville bombing on christmas day, wicker made an ominous post about the bombing being an "effective demonstration" of vulnerability to such attacks, ending a comment to a friend with "you'll see."
i'm still browsing footage from inside the capitol for chris wicker and his traveling companion benjamin williams, but in this facebook post from a few days after the failed coup, wicker tells a friend he was there & that the police "did not stand down in the building"
chris mistakes my obsession with identifying dangerous fascists for an obsession with him personally. an easy mistake to make, perhaps, if you're the kind of guy who brags about committing federal crimes on multiple social media platforms.
oh come on now, i think no matter what our ideological differences, we can all agree that i'm actually very cute
